Lisan el Gaib! Dune 2 generates memes with Javier Bardem’s character

The long-awaited feature film Dune 2 was recently released in theaters and was a success at the worldwide box office. While jokes were made in the previous film to “put some viewers to sleep”, the story is different in the new feature film.

Dune 2 is taking over social media with a meme featuring one of its secondary characters, Stilgar. The member of the Fremen people, played by Javier Bardem, won over social media by showing his devotion to Lisan al Gaib, the great messiah of the feature film universe.

Since the feature film’s release on February 29, numerous memes related to the theme and character have been posted on social media both in Brazil and abroad.

The character Stilgar constantly repeats the term “Lisan al Gaib” and preaches that Paul Atreides is the “chosen one” who will save the sand people. The character is considered a new “messiah” according to the sacred texts and legends of the Bene Gesserit Brotherhood.

The term Lisan al Gaib means “Voice of the Outside World” in the legends of the Fremen, the indigenous people of the desert planet Arrakis. The legend says that the prophet will come from another planet to save them, turning the arid planet into a paradise filled with water and many trees.

Paul Atreides is viewed by some Fremen, including Stilgar, as their great savior. The reason for this is various connections and “clues” that indicate that the character is a prophet. Javier Bardem’s character is quite enthusiastic about prophecies and never fails to mention any reference on the subject, resulting in memes on social media.
